MUB Blog 12: How old is too old?

Chapter 27 is about starting your career. In class we talked about how young people are the ones to make it big in the music world. The old people who are still around are ones that started when they were young. The only old people we could name who started old and were successful were Susan Boyle and Slim Whitman.

While this short article is mainly encouraging musicians to achieve their music goals at any age, it was still very interesting to read about this topic from a different point of view. It asks the question: How old is too old? Nowadays, we see more and more young teenagers becoming discovered and successful. So "old" could be 30s or old could be 80s. Instead of asking if you are in the right age of being discovered, an aspiring artist needs to do the right things to make him or herself more appealing. After all, good music is good music. Those who believe in the “perfect” age to become discovered are already doing it wrong. Taylor Swift did not wait to be discovered. She marketed herself like crazy and did all the right things towards achieving success. So whether you are young or old, you need to do whatever it takes and more to make it big in the music industry. You can’t let your age define your success.
